More performance features

Edge 520 Plus offers another high-performance feature you need for serious training. It works with all ANT+-enabled power meters (not included) so you can track your power output in watts when you ride — one of the most effective training methods available. Add Garmin Vector pedals or another ANT+ enabled power meter and you can train scientifically for the best results. You can customize the screen to display the info that's important to you when you ride, so you'll always have the metrics you need right in front of you.

Great navigation features

When I first started riding the roads around Charlottesville, finding good routes meant consulting cycling club guidebooks and tagging along with lots of group rides. Garmin's Edge 520 Plus bike computer shows how much that has changed Garmin's Cycle Map is preloaded and you can use it to create courses with turn-by-turn directions for both on- and off-road adventures. During your ride, its high-sensitivity GPS receiver records speed, distance, time, plus ascent and descent, while a built-in barometric altimeter yields precise elevation measurements.

Connection during your ride

Edge 520 Plus also taps into the power of your smartphone through the Garmin Connect™ Mobile app. Features like live tracking, social media sharing, weather, and more are ready to access before, during, and after your ride. In conjunction with a compatible smartphone, you can even message to other riders in your group when you're on the road. And when you're out on a long ride or race, your friends and family can follow your progress on Garmin Connect with real-time map updates.

This versatile device is compatible with Strava live segments, so you can track your progress while you're riding on your favorite climbs and fly zones. You'll receive alerts when the segments start and finish, and even instant leaderboard rankings once you've finished the segment.

Stay safe and aware

Edge 520 Plus is fully compatible with Garmin's Varia smart lights and rear-view radar, ensuring that you'll know what's happening on the road around you and that drivers are aware of your presence. You can quickly scope out threatening weather conditions on the Edge 520's water-resistant color display while leaving your smartphone safe and dry in your pocket or jacket.

Product Research

Features

Overview: The Garmin Edge 520 Plus is a compact, GPS-enabled
advanced bicycle computer with navigation and connected features, such as live tracking, social
media sharing, weather, and the ability to send and receive courses. This Sensor Bundle adds the Premium Heart Rate Monitor, Speed
and Cadence Sensors,
and the Out-Front Bike Mount. The Edge 520 Plus is waterproof (IPX7 rated), and comes with two standard handlebar mounts so you
can mount it on multiple bikes.

Display: The Edge 520 Plus has a 2.3" backlit,
high resolution color LCD (1.4"W x 1.9"H),
with a display resolution of 200 x 265 pixels. You can view the maps, maneuver through the
menus, and make selections by touching the controls beside the display. The display will
show your chosen route, elapsed time, speed, distance, time of day, and calories burned (if
applicable).

GPS with Garmin Cycle Map: The Edge 520 Plus has a high-sensitivity GPS receiver
with the preloaded Garmin Cycle Map with turn-by-turn directions for on and off
road courses. The maps will alert you of upcoming turns, and can guide you back
to the route, if you get off course. When you turn on the
unit outdoors, it finds satellites quickly, so you can start your ride quicker.
The time of day and the date are automatically set by the GPS receiver. If
training indoors, you can turn off the GPS receiver to save battery power.

GLONASS: In addition to the GPS (Global Positioning System),
the Edge 520 Plus is compatible with GLONASS (GLObal NAvigation Satellite System),
operated by Russia. This gives the device increased performance and accuracy in
challenging environments, and faster position acquisition. By default, the unit
is set to GPS + GLONASS. For increased battery life, you can select GPS Only.

Strava: The Edge 520 Plus is compatible with Strava, a cycling
and running website and mobile app, which lets you set goals, training plans,
get power analysis, and compare your results with other athletes in your age and
weight class. You can download Strava segments to the Edge 520 Plus for competing
against your previous segment times, or others who ride the same route. Segment
results appear in real time, showing the Distance to Go and Time Ahead (or
Behind) your competitor. A free 3-month premium membership to Strava is included
with the Edge 520 Plus Bundle.

Smartphone Compatible: You can wirelessly link your device
to a smartphone (Android 4.4 and up / iOS 9.0 or later) using the Garmin Connect Mobile app.
While connected, you can receive smart notifications on your device as you ride. At the end
of your ride, you can transfer the ride data directly to your phone via
Bluetooth. Using the app, you can analyze the details of your ride, or share it
with others. You can also search out courses and workouts stored at Garmin
Connect, download them to your smartphone, and send them to your Edge 520 Plus
wirelessly. Real-time weather updates and alerts can be sent from your
smartphone to your device.

Live Track: Another connected feature of the Edge 520
Plus,
Live Track, allows your friends and family to follow your races and training
activities in real time. You can invite your followers via email or social media
to view your live data on the Garmin Connect tracking page. Once they see your
invitation, they can click to follow your progress on a map and see your stats.

Controls: Most of the controls are located along the edge of the
display. On the Home screen, you can access your bike profile, change your
activity profile, manage your history, courses, and workouts, and start a new
ride. During your ride, you can use the front panel buttons to start/stop the
timer and mark a new lap without having to look at the screen. The power and
backlight button is located on the side.

Waterproof: The Edge 520 Plus is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7. It
can withstand immersion in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. The casing is
totally sealed, including the front-mounted controls, and the USB port has a
water-resistant cover to prevent corrosion.

ANT+: ANT+ is a wireless technology that allows certain
accessories to communicate with the Edge 520 Plus. ANT+ sensors generally work within
10 feet of the unit. In addition, an increasing number of health clubs and
fitness centers have ANT+ compatible equipment in their facilities, so you can
use the same accessories separate from your device. Compatible Garmin ANT+
accessories include:

Heart Rate Monitor: When the Edge 520 Plus is paired with
the included
Premium Heart Rate Monitor, the unit tracks your heart beats per minute
and calculates your calorie consumption as you train. You can train in a
certain heart rate zone to improve your fitness level or compare your pace
and heart rate to past performances.

Speed and Cadence Sensors: The
included Speed and Cadence Sensors measure your speed and pedaling strokes per
minute. The Edge 520 Plus has a Non-Zero Averaging option to let you include or
exclude the zero values (when you're not pedaling) when calculating your
power ratings.

Varia Bike Radar/Lights: Varia
Rearview Radar and
Smart Bike
Lights work with the Edge 520 Plus to keep you safe as you ride on the highway. Varia
Rearview Radar can alert you of vehicles approaching from behind. Varia Smart
headlights and tail lights integrate with the Edge 520 Plus and change intensity with
your speed.

Auto Pause: The built-in timer will pause automatically when it
detects you're not moving. The timer will restart when you resume your ride.

Auto Lap: The Auto Lap feature lets you automatically mark the lap at
a specific position. This helps you compare your performance over different
parts of a ride (i.e. a long climb or training sprints). You can also use Auto
Lap to mark laps at a specific distance.

Ride Data Storage: The Edge 520 Plus built-in memory stores
up to 200 hours of your ride data until it can be uploaded to your Garmin
Connect account. The unit not only has an odometer to keep track of your mileage,
but includes data on your last ride, longest ride, fastest ride, and all rides.

User Profile: The Edge 520 Plus allows you to enter data about yourself to
create a User Profile. This data (gender, birth year, weight, and height) is
used to calculate accurate ride data.

Garmin Connect: Free web-based
Garmin Connect software
lets you store your workout data for comprehensive analysis. Garmin Connect is
used by cyclists worldwide, and presents your data in an easily understood
manner, with maps, reports, and suggested activities. You can create fitness
goals and send them to your device. As you complete activities toward your
goals, they are tracked on both the device and on Garmin Connect.

Courses: The Edge 520 Plus can save your ride data as you train. From that
saved data, you can use Garmin Connect software to create courses that you can
follow in the future. Each time you follow the course, the unit will compare
your time to previous rides, or to other riders, and let you set performance
goals. As you ride along the course, the display will indicate distance and time
to upcoming maneuvers.

Virtual Partner: During your workout, you can use the
Virtual Partner to help you meet your goals. The Virtual Partner rides along
with you and provides incentive for you to keep up or stay ahead. If necessary,
you can adjust the speed of the Virtual Partner during the ride.

USB Port: A Micro USB port is provided on the back of the
unit for charging and connecting to your computer. A water-resistant cap keeps
moisture out.

Power Requirements: The unit is powered by a built-in
Lithium-Ion battery. It charges via the included USB cable when connected to
your computer. The battery charge level is expressed
as a percentage on the display. Typical battery life for the device is
approximately 15 hours.

Mounting: The Edge 520 Plus can be mounted to your bicycle's handlebars or
stem using the included standard "quarter-turn" mounts. Two sizes of rubber
mounting bands are included for best fit. Two complete mounts are
included to allow you to use the unit on multiple bikes. The included Out-Front
Bike Mount lets you put the device in front of the handlebars for easier,
heads-up positioning and increased safety.
